Organizers of Mile of Music are revealing their plans for the sixth festival in downtown Appleton.

Co-founder Dave Willems says this year’s focus will be more on the music and the quality of the venues. He says the first five years were about the numbers. He says in this next stage, they want to make it more about the experiences people have.

Willems says they plan to have about 200 artists with around 900 performances over the four days. He says the number of performances will be down from about 930 last year.

Organizers also unveiled the first 50 artists. They’re from 24 states, Washington D.C. and Canada. 30 of them will be making their festival debut.
